1.
For the pastry: knead the flour, soft butter, egg and salt to a smooth dough.
2.
For the filling: mix together the QimiQ Sauce Base, walnuts, feta cheese, curcuma, salt, black pepper, nutmeg, orange juice and orange zest.
3.
Cut the sweet potatoes into thin slices, add to the QimiQ Sauce Base mixture and mix well.

Trim all fat and silver skin from the lamb and season with salt and pepper. Heat the olive oil in a pan and brown the meat on all sides, before cooking in a preheated oven at 160°C for approx. 5 minutes until the internal temperature registers 54°C on a meat thermometer.

Allow the meat to rest. Brush with the Pommery mustard and coat in the chopped parsley. Slice and serve with the Sweet Potato and Walnut Tarte.
